[stylist] being overwhelmed?

[Tamara Smith-Kinney]

Hm...  Just a thought:  People often confuse twins because they look so much
alike.  If your characters are identical twins, keeping the name similarity
might be a subtle way to reinforce that aspect of twinship for the reader?

I guess is depends on what you want to accomplish through the twins.  It's
an interesting dilemma.

Yes, Zohara and Zahira are twins. Do you think their names should be
slightly more differant?
